"The Word Girl" is a work of genius, as is Scritti's cover of the (late 64, actually) Beatles B-side mentioned above.

"I'll Be Your Baby Tonight", 1990 model, is a Palmer / UB40 collaboration: got monstrous amount of UK airplay at the time. WHY?

Sinker, however, is on to something. "Dreadlock Holiday" second most hideous thing of the British 70s. Most hideous is an advert placed at the time for the album from which it comes. I'm saying no more.

What abt "Redondo Beach" off Horses? This track's presence has prob made me unable to figure out how/why it's allegedly one of those life-changing albums.

Got a real soft spot for Laid Back "Sunshine Reggae" and Laid Back in general so I disagree with its inclusion near top of thread.

What does "cod reggae" have to do with fish, anyway?

Searching for the video of The Belle Stars' "Iko Iko" recently, I came across the Captain Jack Eurodance version, which led to me watching their version of "Say Captain," and this:
